I Won't be Back
Pros: convenient to where I needed to be, newly renovated Cons: 1. Cafe ran out of coffee and a fruit cup at 7:15 a.m. 2. Cafe service very slow and unfriendly. 3. "Restaurant" hard to find and very uninviting. Theme is dining in an empty swimming pool. 4. Service very slow for bar service and food,, though there were only 3 tables occupied

Great/eclectic. Perfect w/ a little improvement.
Overall very good! Embraces is 1980s roots. Take confirmation of any package offerings because this platform did not transmit the free parking or the food credit. (Check-in employee immediately honored it.) Two out of the four front desk employees were very friendly and one remembered my name later. Room was very comfortable after they promptly fixed the thermostat. There needs to be better lighting above the sink. Shower products are great but the lotion does not have a pleasant smell. The quick service breakfast place is overpriced (even for a hotel) and needs one more cook because it was slow.

Downright Austin No Picnic
Will not ever stay at Downright again. Hotel has quality control problem. Small but very irritating details that make a person’s stay a positive experience. No soap at the bathroom counter and no trash can in bathroom. Hair dryer would not plug into wall. Took the dryer downstairs and gave to any employee who said he would take care of it. Three hours later when I returned to the room it had not been delivered yet. Called front desk and they had it sent to my room. It wouldn’t plug into wall either. Third time was a charm. The kicker was I stayed at the hotel last year and the toilet paper holder was dangling off the wall. This year, the same exact thing happened! What are the odds? But the coup de grace was that breakfast bar ran out of coffee by 7:15 AM! That is inexcusable!
